Can anyone recommend a supplier for poly bushes for the top and bottom front suspension arms, other than http://www.tvrcarparts.com/pages/parts.asp?vehicle...
http://www.superflex.co.uk/ list them for the S, anyone used them?

I bought them from TVRcarparts - but they superflex ones, I guess they are probably the only manufacturer.
I had trouble getting them to fit - I rang supeflex up - and they said it should be pretty straightforward using the supplied ptfe grease. What ptfe grease? Said I. One phone call later I had the grease sent to me - and then it was easy. The old ones are easy to get out too.

They're what I've got on mine. I can't recall whether I got them from tvr car parts or direct from chris at superflex, probably would have depended on what other bits I was getting at the same time as I've found both of them to be equally helpful in the past.

Using the grease that comes with them is fairly important as they use different grease for different hardness bushes and they're a bugger to put in with the wrong grease (superflex bushes in general, not specifically tvr wishbone ones)

Thanks for the info guys.

I think I will go direct to Superflex, and make sure I get enough grease

I used Superflex bushes but they were a little cheaper bought from www.motorsportworld.co.uk than direct from Superflex (even though they were posted to me by Superflex).Some little satchets of silicone grease were included but bought extra from RS components just to be sure everything was well covered !

Seem to recall during my searching coming across another brand/supplier based in Inkberrow Worcestershire, not David Gerald but I'd be surprised if not connected ?

Thanks for that. Just checked and Motorsportworld are still a bit cheaper than Superflex, so have ordered from them.
